Homeless vets in upstate New York are being moved to make room for migrants sent from NYC

With Title 42 gone as an impediment to migrants coming across the border and New York City being flooded with migrants, nearly two dozen homeless vets have been removed this week from upstate hotels and are being replaced by the migrants, according to a nonprofit group that works with the veterans.

This has led to injunctions and legal battles between New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the upstate counties of Orange and Rockland, which are about 60 miles north of New York City, according to the New York Post.

"Our veterans have been placed in another hotel due to what's going on with the immigrants," said Sharon Toney-Finch, the CEO of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation.

Toney-Finch is a disabled military veteran and the CEO of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation, which was founded to "raise awareness of premature births, as well as helping the homeless and low-income military service veterans in need of living assistance."

Mayor Adams says that his city is receiving approximately 500 migrants per day, according to the Post.

The conflict between New York City, which is a sanctuary city, has escalated into lawsuits and injunctions that have temporarily blocked some of the migrants from being sent to the two upstate counties.

Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus issued a declaration earlier this week prohibiting hotels and other short-term rentals from accepting any migrants. But on Thursday, two buses, each with about 20 migrants, arrived in Orange County.

"Last night, both the State and City assured the Town of Newburgh and Orange County that no buses with asylum seekers would be here until further notice," Neuhaus told The Post.

"The process has been a disorganized disaster and the blame lies with the Mayor of New York, who originally opened the door for as many undocumented immigrants as possible to his self-proclaimed sanctuary city, and the Governor. She has sat back and done nothing as this crisis has negatively impacted New York State."

Update: This story appears to have been fabricated. Multiple hotels mentioned in the report have said this information is false and New York State Assemblyman Brian Maher has come out and said he was misled.
